With the stock 1100 mah nicad that comes with the WC2. I would get about 4 hours of continous operation.
I now have a Duralite 1300 mah Li-Ion 11.1 volt pack. I can get better than 5 hours of continous operation.

Are you wondering about the RX battery or the Tx battery? The 1500 that comes with the 9Z will work with your setup and can be quick charged at the field. I have used it , but decided to go with Duralite batteries for the extended flying time and no quick charging at the field. If you are using a 1500 in the TX you will be ready for a long day of flying. Hope this helps.

Sam,
Thanks. I had forgot the RX battery that comes with the 9Z is 1500 mah. I have never used those batteries. They are still sitting here on a shelf.
With the 1500 mah RX battery that comes with the 9Z. Your only probably going to get 3-4 flights before needing to recharge with all digital servos.

My machines w/ digital servos, 601, GV-1 all use about 350-400 mAh per 8 min flight. I would say 20-24 minutes flight time MAX. Look into some lipo Rx batts-- I use Duralite and love them.
